LibraryBoard | 2017-01-11 | 2 | Page 2 of 4 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board January 11, 2017 Meeting The Red Cross held a blood drive in the Stafford Room on January 5th, which was well attended with 38 reservations. There will be a new liaison by the next blood drive in March. The Made in Alameda program is coming up. So far, two artists and one author have expressed interest. Friends are co-sponsoring the event and can purchase the one day liquor license, if necessary. Vice President Kearney asked if there are any flyers she can forward to a friend for information. Director Chisaki responded that the Library's website has a link to more information for those interested in completing an application to participate. An ad will be placed in the newspaper further down the road. The Foods for Fines drive was last done in 2014, and this summer would be a good time to have another drive. The drive was an overall positive experience as it brought books back in to the library, cleared patron accounts allowing them to use library services again, and provided donations for the food bank. Director Chisaki expects to have designs of the new logo soon. The Friends logo is contingent on the Library's logo, so they are looking forward to seeing the designs. Vice President Kearney asked if any feedback was given to the designer and Director Chisaki confirmed she had provided him with several suggestions. The designer is incorporating a bridge theme in the design. Director Chisaki explained that the Services Report numbers for October are similar to what they normally are. November numbers were lower because there were some closure days, so December numbers will be lower as well. Door counters are now working properly. Director Chisaki clarified that the months included in the Services Report are always one month behind the months that are included in the Expenditure Report and Check Registers, because it allows staff more time to input the data. There were no changes to the Draft Minutes of the November 9, 2016 Library Board meeting. Vice President Kearney moved to approve the Consent Calendar. Board Member Atkin seconded the motion, which passed with a 5-0 vote. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Integrated Library System: Status Report (J.
